Actually, it sounds quite ok.

That's 10 grams?? Does that even fit in a pill?

Scales perfectly well with a 1.8 million donation to the correct place, though. Her mistake was not the fraud, it was the forgotten donation.

Except for the language semantics.

I think it was a joke

Flying cars already exist. We just call them helicopters.

Where does "tight music" come into those constraints.

Yeah, this isn't benchmarking anything related to the CPU etc. It is benchmarking the quirks of the Python interpreter.

There is also a new player in the game of C++ wrapping Julia: https://github.com/Clemapfel/jluna

One difference is that Pkg.offline(true) will error if it cannot resolve something with packages already installed while with this option it will fall back to downloading new versi…

What did you feel you needed to use macros for?

> I provide the option of Julia in my tutorials. I also did this and only the students that were well ahead of the rest gave it a try. But I think this is natural, many students ar…

It is already illegal to interfere.

I wouldn't say that @inbounds is a "horrible hack". Just like the `unsafe` part of Rust is not a "horrible hack". There are cases where it is impossible for a compiler to staticall…

Warning about such things is the job for a linter. There is a linter for Julia so such a thing could be added there. It shouldn't be a runtime warning though, like you propose.

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/rust-julia-comparison-post... seems to be about 2x faster than the (optimized) Rust version with some minor tweaks to the Julia code so perhaps th…

https://simonbyrne.github.io/notes/fastmath/ also has a nice discussion about the possible pitfalls of "fast"-math.

Alternatively, the high price of long term psychological and physiological effects, particularly in children from very long lockdowns Time will tell.
